Talk:Mystery:Did a Fake Fidel Castro Meet the Pope? (view source)
Revision as of 01:58, March 29, 2012
, 01:58, March 29, 2012→Body Doubles: If you display a photo of a man a half-foot shorter than Clint Eastwood with a differently shaped nose, and lacking in other facial features, as the Miami Herald just published with
::::I don't see why not. The main reason that dictators use body doubles is to hide their movements or act as a decoy for potential assassins. Neither of these uses is much help to a dead man. The fact is that there is no evidence ''whatsoever'' that Castro is dead, but multiple photos and videos of him and records of several meetings in the last two years with individuals including the pope and the president of Brazil. Sure, they ''could'' all be body doubles, but you can say the same for anyone. Actors also use body doubles. I can claim right now that Clint Eastwood died in 1968 and every appearance by him since then has really been a body double. By your criteria, how are you going to disprove it? --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 20:55, 28 March 2012 (EDT)

:::::If you display a photo of a man a half-foot shorter than Clint Eastwood with a differently shaped nose, and lacking in other facial features, as the Miami Herald just published with respect to the alleged Fidel Castro, then that would disprove it. Surely you're not claiming that photo identification is impossible.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:58, 28 March 2012 (EDT)
